First,
your Hiper ARC has lost it's configuration. Can you not type an "N" to get
a prompt? If not, restart the thing, and when you see the "HiPer Access Router Boot
Configuration" menu, try and type something. If you can't type
anything there, then your serial cable isn't working.
Second, on the NMC - don't have a clue, but you might
try removing the debug jumper toward the front of the card and see if starts
then. Also - I've found that a serial cable that's wired wrong, or the
wrong port settings for your serial port, can cause either the ARC or the NMC to
hang indefinitely until you remove the serial cable. Once you confirm that
your serial cable is working on the ARC, then plug it into the NMC and see if
works better.
